Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that commonly affects extranodal sites. The most commonly affected sites are the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, Waldeyer's ring, lung, and pleura. We report the case of an 80-year-old diabetic male, in MCL remission, who presented with a small dome-shaped nodule on his calf and an ipsilateral second digit non-healing ulceration after a traumatic fall. Despite surgical and conservative treatment, the wound worsened, resulting in histopathologic examination, which confirmed the presence of lymphocytes, indicating MCL relapse. This case was followed up for approximately 3 months until the patient died. Our case is an example of pedal manifestations of skin involvement of MCL, which, on consideration of the clinical manifestations also, can be confused with a nonhealing diabetic wound. The clinical significance of our case study is to assist in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of a patient with MCL.
套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)是一种罕见的非霍奇金淋巴瘤,通常累及结外部位。最常受累的部位是骨髓、胃肠道、韦氏环、肺和胸膜。我们报告了一例80岁的糖尿病男性病例,该患者处于MCL缓解期,在一次外伤性跌倒后,小腿出现一个小的圆顶状结节,同侧第二指出现不愈合溃疡。尽管经过手术和保守治疗,伤口仍恶化,进行组织病理学检查后证实存在淋巴细胞,提示MCL复发。该病例随访约3个月直至患者死亡。我们的病例是MCL皮肤受累的足部表现的一个例子,考虑到临床表现,它可能与不愈合的糖尿病伤口相混淆。我们病例研究的临床意义在于协助MCL患者的诊断、管理和预后评估。
